Very clever; kudos. The construction looks well done -- I say this as someone whose carpentry has inevitable marks of (a) amateurism in the negative sense, (b) haste.
I'm lucky to have a 2 car garage for a 1 car household, and even 0 cars when my 16 year old daughter takes it to her mother's house for most of the week, but if I didn't have this space, and didn't have an extra bedroom to use as a bike storage unit and workshop, I'd seriously want a couple of those. Where do you work on your bikes? Right downtown in the City of ABQ, near one of the high rises, there used to be one or two clamshell bike lockers, which for a while I passed regularly on my commute from work. I always wanted to park my bike in one, just "because", but never did.
